Partners in the Bokeh

by Matthew Cooper November 19, 2014
written by Matthew Cooper

On the last night in the Magic Kingdom we were hanging out in the hub for the 2nd Main Street Electrical parade of the night. As I’m sure many of you know there are often large gaps in between floats for one reason or another so I was getting kinda bored waiting on the next float to shoot so I started playing around with a couple shots of the Partners statue. I wasn’t happy with how auto focus was working out so I switched over to manual focus and grabbed a few shots. I was particularly pleased with this one so here it is. I hope you enjoy!

Also I started a new group for critiquing Disney photos on Facebook. The goal is to help each other grow and become better photographers. You can join at https://www.facebook.com/groups/793223147386382/

The Muppet Twist

by Matthew Cooper November 18, 2014
written by Matthew Cooper

I’ve shot this area quite a bit over the past few years so I’m always looking for new and different angles to try and make something new here. I think the twist or slant works particularly well from this angle. While part of me is disappointed that Miss Piggy is spinning again as I enjoyed the few times I was able to shoot this while she was broken it’s nice to see Disney fixing some of the smaller things. Thanks for looking and enjoy.

A Long Look at Tower of Terror

by Matthew Cooper November 11, 2014
written by Matthew Cooper

For this shot I was trying to use the road to lead the eye up to the Tower of Terror. While this left less room at the top to show off the sky I think I prefer this as the frame feels less empty. Once again shot with the 70-200 2.8 which was on my camera this trip more than any other lens. The way it performs makes it hard to want to switch it out even though my first love will always be ultra wide photography. Enjoy.

Capture One

by Matthew Cooper August 19, 2014
written by Matthew Cooper

As I’ve been mentioning I’ve replaced Lightroom in my work flow with Capture One. There are numerous reasons for this and I plan on releasing a video soon touching on some of this. In the mean time if you’d like to give it a try you can download a trial from Phase One’s website. The program is currently on sale 50% off for $149 but you can use my exclusive code AMBCOOPER and receive an additional 10% off. You can pick it up at http://www.phaseone.com/en/Online-Store/Capture-One-Pro-7.aspx. I highly recommend it. Be sure to tell me what you think of it or ask me any questions in the comments!

New Photo Editing Video Series

by Matthew Cooper March 5, 2014
written by Matthew Cooper

I’m finally pleased to announce the release of the 1st episode in my new video series. In this first episode we have critiques on some of the submissions, a full length edit in Photoshop and an in depth advanced Photoshop technique segment. The first episode runs almost 1 1/2 hours and has been split in to 2 parts. In part 1 we take a look and critique some of the photos submitted as well as do a full length edit in Photoshop. In part 2 we dive into some advanced Photoshop techniques including straightening and removal of unwanted elements. As this is the first episode I’d especially love to hear all of your thoughts and comments so we can fine tune and improve the episodes as we go along.

Also please keep sending those submissions into [email protected] as this is going to be a weekly video series and I’ll need a constant stream of photos from all of you to make this work. And of course, just because you don’t see your photo on an episode this week doesn’t mean it won’t be in a future episode.

A Magical Kingdom

by Matthew Cooper October 22, 2013
written by Matthew Cooper

This was one of my favorite images from this past trip and I wanted to save it for something special, and this 500th image post seemed like just the thing. This was taken shortly before I rushed over and took the Splash Mountain photo I posted a few days back. The sunset was absolutely killer and gave me these wonderful colors to work with. I hope everyone has a great weekend and don’t forget to enter the print give-away contest!
